Vegetarian Christmas Meal Ideas

I know, I know – you’re a vegetarian at Christmas and you don’t know what’s festive enough to eat when everyone else is chowing down on ham. Or worse – you’re a carnivore hosting a vegetarian and you don’t know what to do.

Relax.

I got some vegetarian Christmas meal ideas that don’t take long, aren’t fiddly, but are super-festive and full of flavour. Nobody will miss out on this special day, I promise. Well, except maybe Santa, I hear he’s on a diet.

The Main Event

If you want something (semi) seasonal that you can make in advance and just bung in the oven later, Pumpkin and Fennel Lasagne is your friend. Try adding rosemary instead of fennel for that real Christmas scent.

It’s definitely Christmas coloured, minty and fresh for hot weather, and can be dressed up or down as the occasion demands. I demand all of it. Now.

Festive Fun!

Rum Balls (hold the rum, please – blecch) (ok maybe I can be swayed if someone has a good recipe? But strictly for childhood traditions and nostalgic tastes, 100% of which I want at Christmas, these are the best.)

Good meal ideas!! I have ‘pretend vegetarians’ in my family which are the worst! They say they are vegetarians so we cater for them then we watch as they chow down on our chicken and beef… drives me insane! But these look yummy enough for everyone.

I love a smorgasbord of salads. For years I used to make and elaborate Russian Salad, molded and decorated with egg, beetroot and roasted peppers as an integral part of the Christmas feast and of course spinach pie is always good.
